Mr. K, i've been studying every day & my learning curve has gone happily through the roof! Though i hope i haven't picked up any bad habits from copying CN characters (etc) without fully understanding the forms. Thanks for the schooling!

I was completely ready to give up wasting my money on these lame CG movies and had no intention of seeing this one, and now you say its good. I have been so disappointed with almost all of these crappy CG animated piles of doo. I was going to save my money, but wait.

The only things that stand out to me in the past 20 yrs was the 3D imagery in UP and the penguins in Madagascar 2. All right, now I have to know what you thought about it. Im waiting with baited breath. Which kinda has a fishy taste to it.

I might have to check this out. I wasn't really planning on seeing it, but I saw a clip with a snowball fight that had me cracking up, so that combined with you of all people liking this has me really curious now.

i was looking through the art of book, and saw some old spumco peeps.. have you been approached to do design or story (or directing i wish) work on any of these big CG pix, yet? would you consider doing that kind of stuff, like punching up the jokes in a Shreck movie or something?

i watched some making of for this. they used an actual camera and hooked it up to a computer so that they could move around "filming" in the constructed cg environments. it is a pretty true hybrid between regular movie making and animated. pretty interesting.

WOW! I completely agree! I took my son to see this yesterday, not really expecting much from it, but WHOA! I was cracking up at this film. It was an actual CG cartoon! Lots of slapstick, visual gags as opposed to verbal humor that is spoken way to fast for me to catch let alone my son.

Wow, and to think I was going to give this film a pass. If John likes a CG feature then I'm intrigued enough to check it out after all. Frankly, I haven't been this shocked since my pal Greg Duffell raved about how much he liked "Home on the Range"! Is there a total eclipse happening or something else to cause this rare phenomenon? :)

Wow, for real? I completely wrote it off when I saw the trailer, but it's been getting rave reviews across the board. And now John K. likes it. Screw it, I'm going to have to check this one out for myself pronto.

I understand why you'd be mad at Dreamworks, but I don't understand why you'd be mad at Pixar. Pixar films aren't cartoons...but they ARE well-written animated novels.

Anyway, I thought the movie looked like stupid, as Rick said, "bastardization of the book that my mom used to read to me every night because I loved it so much". (Yes, I loved it as a toddler) You, however, are a cartooning God, and I must obey your opinion and watch it. XD Okay, not a GOD.

The Saturday morning conventions, arbitrary gags, manic pacing with no letup, and unrelenting dialogue drove me out of the theater in a little less than an hour. I don't know if it was the movie or the 3D that gave me the headache, but I'm not going back to find out.

I didn't see the ending, but I'm sure the boy saved the world and someone did a Pinocchio death and return jack in the box. Am I right?

I am highly anticipating this movie. I already think the promotion looks good, so if you tell me the rest is better, it has to be great. I have confidence in the Clone High directors, it was a hilariously funny cartoon for adults.

Nobody knows the book here in Spain, so I don't care if the story is different.

I know it's so visually impressive and interesting. There hasn't been a CGI film like this ever and I was glad to see it this weekend. Not sure how many people in the audience around us (small group sadly) that laughed at the expressions but my sibs and loved them a lot. I'd love to see more of these characters in some way or another. They know how to make them look good.
